Chapter 8 Lies

"This gentleman is..." I distance myself from him, "the lady's boyfriend who did her laundry." Dead! I'm dead, and I don't know if this lie will be effective, but all I have left is to try.

"Hmmm...! Did she give him our address? But what I don't understand is why she didn't change her clothes at her house," he emphasizes with quotation marks, "why didn't she just send you a change of clothes?" He raises an eyebrow, and his words make me nervous. "And why did she send you with her boyfriend? Oh, better yet, tell me why her clothes have sauce on them," he interrogates, "yes, the sauce that's on the table," he clicks his tongue, disgusted by all the lies. "I don't believe it, it's a cheap story, and even more so to receive it in underwear," he raises his finger and points it at me from top to bottom.

I'm not embarrassed to be wearing a babydoll; I don't find it very provocative. Besides, it's not a sin for them to see my attributes. Seeing won't kill me, but if that damn man dares to touch me, he'll have to deal with me.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth," I let out a sigh, "this man came to pay me the money the lady owes me, and..." I'm finished, "don't blame me because the man enjoys playing with sauce."

No... No... No... I have to set aside my arrogance, but it's impossible for me not to unleash the beast within me.

"Ah, I see, and what's the man's name, or don't tell me the mice ate his tongue," he now addresses him, but I'll kill him if he says a word.

I have to control myself, as everything can be lost in just a second.

"Noah Davies," he extends his hand towards my friend, and she gladly accepts it.

"Norma, Olivia's sister," she emphasizes.

That's it, now the bastard will know my weakness since it's evident that he's digging into my life.

"Sisters, oh, how lovely you are," his shitty compliments disgust me, but I have to endure them.

"Norma, I need you to leave me alone with the gentleman, we'll talk later." I look into her eyes and give her a knowing look.

"Okay, I'll go with Alejandro, and I'll be in my room if you need anything," she nods, not very sure.

Phew... I'm in luck, and my soul returned to my body the moment she decided to turn around and not investigate.

"I want you to get out of my house, and don't you dare set foot here because I won't be responsible," I hiss through clenched teeth.

"Who are you, Olivia Clarke?" he approaches me and plants a warm, wet kiss on my cheek... "Where is my Pekingese, you angry woman?"

Stop calling me that way because I won't respond and respect my house, you damn, miserable person," filled with anger, I grab his shirt and squeeze it. "Don't get it wrong, you don't know what I'm capable of," with a shove, my hands let him go.

The damn guy smiles, and I explode without caring about the consequences of Norma being nearby, but it's just hard to tolerate this idiot.

"I'm leaving, but I want you at the club two hours earlier," he raises a finger and sentences me.

Ha, the damn guy is in my house and still dares to disrespect me.

"Oh, mighty lord, first you act like a stalker, and now you demand from me while knowing that you're in my house," I clench my fist, overcome with rage. "I swear I'm capable of killing you."

"I want you two hours earlier, and if you don't want anything to happen to your sweet sister, you better listen to me," he winks at me after flashing a huge smile. "I'm worse than you."

The damn guy has some nerve to offend me in my own house.

I swear I won't let this offense slide, he will pay for it, and he'll regret messing with me. Slowly, I lick my lips, and one thing I enjoy is how I'll carry out my revenge, hitting him where it hurts the most because just as I don't like people messing with me, I'm sure he won't like me meddling in his life.

"Go to hell, and if I used to hate you before, now I detest you to death. I won't rest until I make you pay for this offense."

"I'm leaving, but I'll be waiting for you," he murmurs. "And there's no need for you to accompany me since there's nowhere to get lost here," he exclaims sarcastically.

Let him go... let him go... let him go...

The idiot turns around, and I feel like following him, but suddenly I remember I have to talk to Norma and plant a few ideas in her head.

Now I'll go to my room to take a shower and wash off the sauce I have on my back, then get ready to receive my friend. I know she doesn't believe the story that he's the ghost woman's boyfriend, but I have nothing to lose by trying, even though one lie can lead to another.

I'll take the risk, but not without taking someone down first. I'm sorry, Lobreguez, but your little friend will stop being one, and not for long.

No one, absolutely no one, had meddled in my life, and now I won't allow that idiot to take away the facade I've built over the years.

+NOAH+

"Boom! I succeeded, and now I know what she's been hiding so much, although there are a couple of details I need to understand. Why does she live a beggar's life? She has money, and I know that for a fact because Lobreguez pays well, especially if you're the general manager of a good club, not to mention the mafia business.

After having a great time with this girl called Estrella, I wasted no time in extracting information about the 'Ungovernable Lady.' It makes me laugh every time I remember and mention the alias that Pekinés gave herself. Estrella couldn't provide many details because she says Pekinés is too meticulous, but the only way to find out is by following her.

That whore wasn't very helpful, but the little information she gave me helped me find out where Pekinés lives and with whom. I sent some of my men and instructed them to follow her, making sure not to be seen under any circumstances because I know the dwarf is cunning, and I don't want everything to go to shit. My surprise is that she doesn't have the luxuries any woman would desire. Why does she live in a pigsty? Why does she possess such elegance at night and appear as innocent as Mary during the day?

With a huge smile, I leave that rathole behind. I'm not the least bit concerned if she's angry or wants to kill me because we're cut from the same cloth, and as much as she's a beast, I'm a fierce lion.

She's not important, but she's my rival, since we both want the same position. The lady started challenging me, and I will put an end to these games. Today, I have a date with the she-devil, and I can't miss it."
